From 4352d82647f679fb8dd9440b34400fa49beedb2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olof Johansson Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 21:34:14 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] pasemi_mac: Fix reuse of free'd skb Turns out we're freeing the skb when we detect CRC error, but we're not clearing out info->skb. We could either clear it and have the stack reallocate it, or just leave it and the rx ring refill code will reuse the one that was allocated. Reusing a freed skb obviously caused some nasty crashes of various kind, as reported by Brent Baude and David Woodhouse.
